This literature review provides information about pigments used for facial and somatoprostheses.
This information includes common pigment and index names and numbers, lightfastness categories, chemical type and class, and the chemical formulas of the common pigments used in maxillofacial prosthetics.
It can be deduced from this review that the pigments used with silicone elastomers do exhibit a color change, and that a color change is to be expected.
